x/5 = 20?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Isolate x.. :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know what x/5 means?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x over 5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, yes but it also means x divided by 5. What is the opposite of division?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multipy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right so you have to multiply each side by 5 to get rid of 5 on the left side.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You want to try and get x to one side, assuming the question is to solve for x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
